In one word, how do you feel about college right now?

Words of Wisdom

• Start fresh in a brand new environment.
• Your experience at Questrom is about you, and you
• alone. Do things that interest you.
• Be open minded. Try something that makes you

uncomfortable.

• Don’t be afraid to meet new people.
• It isn’t too early to start thinking about your future, but

do be careful of overwhelming yourself.

• Start joining the business clubs.
• Check out Handshake.
• Attend all those Questrom networking events.

Words of Wisdom

• It’s okay to ask for help.
• Go to see your professors and TAs in office hours.
• Always start studying early (two weeks in advance is

usually a good start), don’t wait until last minute.

• Continuously review concepts and content for your

classes.

• Read your email.
• College is all about time management.
• Be You.
• Get your feet wet and get out of your comfort zone.
